Maldives Association of Travel Agents and Tour Operators (MATATO) has
announced its partnership with the Korean Tourism Organisation (KTO)
for an exciting roadshow event aimed at promoting bilateral tourism
between the Maldives and Korea on Thursday in Male’ Maagiri Hotel. This
event serves as a platform to introduce KTO to our esteemed members,
stakeholders, and the media, facilitating a closer partnership and
opening up new opportunities for both destinations.

discussions held between MATATO and KTO in March of this year. During
these discussions, a variety of topics were explored. This collaboration

Attendees were treated to engaging presentations by KTO and speech by Regional Director, Myong Kil Yun. Their expert knowledge and expertise will shed light on the unique experiences and attractions awaiting Maldivian travelers in Korea.
“We are excited to witness the captivating presentations and hear the perspectives of our members on this partnership,” said Abdulla Ghiyas President MATATO. “The collaboration between MATATO and KTO holds immense potential for forging stronger ties and creating mutually beneficial opportunities. We anticipate that this event will pave the way for more Maldivians to explore Korea and for Korean visitors to discover the enchanting beauty of the Maldives.”
